GREENSBORO, N.C. – UNCG softball redshirt junior Raeanne Hanks (Rainier, Ore./Rainier Senior) has been named this week's Blue Chip Performer sponsored by Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina. The Blue Chip Performer is chosen weekly from all sports in season and runs throughout the 2012-13 UNCG athletics campaign.

Hanks helped the Spartans capture the 2013 Hornet Invitational with a 4-1 record after defeating Alabama State (W, 4-0), Easter Illinois twice (W, 2-0, W, 5-1) and a 1-0 win against Belmont. Hanks finished the tournament with a 3-1 record in 27.1 innings, allowing just one earned run, two shutouts, two complete games, a save and 35 strikeouts.

The Rainier, Oregon native, suffered her only loss in a 1-0 game against Belmont in eight innings where she struck out a career-high 13 batters, which is the second most single-game total in UNCG history.

Hanks also held opponents to just a .125 batting average and appeared in all five games over the weekend.
